Hello from the Chick in the Sticks :-)

God's morning to all!

I know a couple of you visit my caringbridge page but thought I better post an update here also.

It is wonderful to be able to share good news with you all. My ca125 held, it was a very pleasant surprise and usually doesn't happen once it starts the upward climb. Last visit it had started heading back up but this time to hear stable was a good thing.

So yesterday I got Abraxane #6 and my Dr said we'd continue with this one as long as it keeps working. Once again ~ thanks for all the prayers :-D I have said this before but worth repeating "we know the prayers are the extra power the chemo needs". Yes this was a very pleasant surprise. We always remain hopeful but yet try to stay in the reality of it also.

The reality stays close especially the past few months, as women I have gotten to know and call friend have recieved their angel wings. One of them made it almost 7 years (we were diagnosed a few months apart) another only 3yrs and last Friday another passed that survived 5yrs. I rejoice in their friendships and that they are now with our Lord, but weep in the loss of yet another special and courageous teal warrior.

I pray that soon something better comes along for detecting this disease earlier, for a cure for all cancers, for all those dealing with this disease including all their family and friends. The word cancer is such a blow to so many and so many types of it are found late that it makes it hard to survive. I pray for all those in research that the doors open wide for finding a cure, for those in the position of allowing drugs to be FDA approved, for those struggling with all the options and what ifs. Yes lots and lots of prayers!
